ProductionThe film's development was first announced in 2021.[3] Filming began on October 10, 2023, and took place in Montreal, Quebec City, Morocco and Nepal.[4] Trogi stated that he considers the film to be the funniest in the series;[5] he noted as well that while La Course was retitled in the film for copyright reasons, he kept the real names of key personalities who featured in the storyline, including host Pierre Therrien and judges Michel Coulombe, Louise Racicot and Manon Barbeau.[5] He has also stated that while there may be future films in the series, he is not currently certain of that, stating in particular that he doesn't see any comedy to be mined from his experiences directing his debut film Québec-Montréal.[1] He subsequently raised the possibility of following up with 1998, which would centre on his early work in directing television advertisements, or backing up to 1956, which would tell the story of his father's immigration to Canada from his native Italy, but has not confirmed that he will definitely make either film.[6] ReleaseThe film's first promotional poster was revealed in February 2024,[7] and the film opened theatrically on July 31.[8] The film surpassed the $1 million benchmark for box office success in the Quebec market within ten days of its release,[9] and would cross $2 million within 20 days.[10] As his seventh film to surpass the $1 million benchmark, it also gave Trogi a new record for the most films by a Canadian director ever to achieve this in Quebec.[9] By September 15, 2024, 1995 has grossed over $2.7 million.[11] It was screened in a gala presentation at the 2024 Cinéfest Sudbury International Film Festival.[12] Accolades
